"have just seen the news & a professor from an Australian
University in conjunction with Cochlea the company that invented the Bionic
ear have made the discovery that they have developed a way to regrow hair
within the ear."

at least if this does not cure tinnitus, we will discover tinnitus is not
generated by missing hair cells. A win win situation.

There are actually a couple of different appraoches to this which are

it has already been done in mice using at least one method.
